"...when your phone tells you you didn't do your 10000 steps?"
Disappointed sometimes but I tend to average it out against the other days of the week and not feel so bad.
10 000 is no hard number to crack. ( as long as I make it routine i.e. I walk to the shops and back. I walk to the train station and back. That's 10,000 without even walking if you know what I mean ) |

Nope. I don't feel guilty but I do find that now I don't work it's far easier to walk more.
My dad finds the whole counting steps thing hilarious. He simply can't understand why anybody wants or needs to know how many steps they've taken or how far they've walked.

No but my boss in my previous job used to make me feel very guilty. She would stroll i to the office at 11.30am saying she had already done 18k steps and would say "how many have you done today?"
What she forgot was I'd been sat at my desk for 3 solid hours working. It's so easy to do a lot of steps if you don't have to be at work. |

Not all that North of North London |
I had a colleague who once proudly told everyone that while she never managed a thousand steps a day most days she was managing six or seven hundred and that was close enough. She refused to believe it was ten thousand steps a day and refused to believe it was something most people did! |

I feel relieved. It means I've had a day where I've not had to do much walking which is always lovely. 
25,000 is my daily average atm and it's exhausting.  |

"My steps are hard to record because at work I'm not allowed my watch or phone
So so lazy.
Count them yourself.
Try harder.
You count them  "
Apparently that's not allowed and considered stalking.
Madness i know |

It is just an arbitrary number though.
Apparently the first fitness tracker was developed years ago in Japan and the name of it loosely translated to "10,000 step man". Hence, 10k steps became synonymous with  health |

Same with the 5 a day thing.
If you're moving, you're improving.
Targets are good, but arbitrary recommendations should be taken with a pinch of salt.
I like my pinch with nachos. |

Exactly. My step target was set for me by a qualified professional, and was based on my abilities and fitness goals at the time.
Is it 10k? No.
Is it realistic? Yes.
Do I regularly meet it? ...Shut up. |

Lol.
Podcasts, music, without these I find walking too hard.
Keep getting in touch with nature, talking to people.
Piss off, leave me alone, I only want to communicate with memes that barely disguise my ambivalence towards modern life. |
